If possible, I try to exercise earlier in the day prior to the interview. And I spend time drafting responses to the questions to the more common questions that might be asked.

Use ChatGPT to role play. Upload your detailed resume, the job description, info on the interviewers, and any other useful context, and let the tool work its magic. I just completed 6 rounds of interviews and each time , ChatGPT was ~90% accurate with the questions suggested and the suggested answer scripts were surprisingly spot on.

PS. I got the job with 25% increment on what I asked for.

Good luck!

I tried asking this in my own bowl with no responses, so seeing if other consultants have run into this situation. I’m on parental leave, I got an offer for another firm, great opportunity and pay. How does one go about a resignation mid-leave when you would start the new job before the leave ends? Two weeks notice or just say I am not returning effective the day of the new job? Any things to consider besides potentially repaying the employer healthcare premium?
